Environmental protection

  • Preservation of the water table with %100 of processing of water coming from desalination
  • Use of %100 renewable clean energy in the future: wind turbines and cogeneration (using the PFC sulfuric acid unit)
  • Reduction of the carbon footprint
  • Reduction of the particular emissions

Introduction of new processing technologies (new watching plants), further optimizing water and energy use
